In recent years the design of exterior walls has incorporatedmore diverse materials and complex building technology than everbefore. The use of metal, glass, stone, concrete, and masonry inthe building facade challenges architects, engineers,manufacturers, and contractors to better understand materials andsystems. STP 1034 reflects this trend and provides the buildingindustry with information and solutions based on actual buildingprojects. 14 peer-reviewed papers written by experts in the designand technology of exterior wall systems cover design concerns ofexterior wall systems; testing and analysis; structural sealantglazing; stone selection; and precast and composite concrete wallsystems. Each paper uses case studies to illustrate the successesand failures of exterior wall systems. For architects, engineers,manufacturers, and contractors.
